Tekton Electron has been released

As expected, the Tekton Double Impact received a 5 star rave-up from Home Theatre Review. The reviewer made mention of a smaller version for those of us with smaller rooms. I shot Eric Alexander an email at about 8:30 last night and was surprised to receive a reply a few minutes later. He said that the scaled down version, which he named the Electron, had just gone live on his website a few minutes earlier.

I haven't heard any of his speakers yet, but I am really curious, especially about this one. I'm sure that conspiracy theorists will have plenty to say about the reviewer, and the weird patent (they already have savaged the patent, and I don't really blame them), but I am not as suspicious as some, and I think these speakers must be pretty good, or they wouldn't keep getting such enthusiastic reviews from users as well. I want to hear these speakers!

2 cents worth:

I had a descent 2' x 2' dispersion grid made of 2" x 2" wood of 5 differing heights in a random pattern and placed in the center of the wall behind my Soundlab U-2s. I built this years ago and stained it dark brown. So, in the new digs, it would look better in black. Stain with ebony or just paint with the black automotive paint I already have? Saved $7 by not buying the stain. WOW, it wrecked the sound. Apparently, the automotive paint is a really hard surface and the high frequencies went ballistic. So, I recommend you consider the impact of hard finish paints on the speakers - which may have a real effect on the sound.
